We did finally catch her!! I didn't feel anything wrong with her neck. But it seems that where her ears are she has feathers there and they do stick out. I guess she's just different...

If I could catch her.... These are the most unsociable chickens. Scared of everything. I will try though.

This "girl" is approximately 4-5 months old. Her breed is Ameracauna. She is a runt. I'm concerned about her neck feathers. The other 2 Ameracaunas we got with her have smooth feathers on their necks. Should I be concerned? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE It is both eyes. She's very quiet, standing in one spot. She usually doesn't like to be held, but didn't fight me when I picked her up.

I noticed an eye issue today with one of my Gold Sex Links. She's keeping her eyelid closed on 1 eye. There's no drainage or lesions. I think she's having trouble seeing because she is just standing in one spot and didn't come when I put a new flock block out. She looks healthy otherwise...

13 eggs from 7 hens today!!! How does that happen??

Thanks Dan! I get 7 eggs every day! So, I guess my girls are doing their job!

I have 8 hens, 2 RIR and 6 Gold Sex Links. 7 have been laying since August. I have never gotten 8 eggs. I know the reds are laying, not sure which of the golds is not. Can hens just not have any eggs to lay? I'm a newbie chicken owner. Thanks for information.

The gold comets are 6 months old. I just wanted to make sure this is normal. Thanks!

I have 2 RIR and 6 gold comets. Most of them have started laying but I have never gotten 8 eggs yet. I get between 6-7 a day. I know for a fact that both of the RIRs are laying. Not sure which of the gold comets aren't. Is it possible for a chicken to not have any eggs or is one of them just...

I have 8 hens. 2 RIR and 6 Gold Comets. We have been getting between 6-7 eggs a day. So do I have a hen that's a dud?? I know for sure that both RIRs are laying. Do I need to worry about the one that's not laying yet or is she just slow?

Thanks!

We have 8 hens. We've been getting 4-5 eggs a day. Yesterday we got 6, today 4. I have a question......does each chicken lay 1 egg a day or do some lay more than one egg a day? I'm sure you can tell, I'm new to chickens!! :lol:

Yes.....it's hot here in South Louisiana too! My girls love watermelon and grapes! I try to offer them different snacks but it seems those are their favorites.
